    When the "A-side" gets robbed of a win...

    I was thinking of instances when the house fighter appeared to do enough to win only for the judges give a suspect win to the "B-side". Only ones I could think of off the top of my head:

    Pacquiao/Bradley: probably the gold standard for this rare phenomenon.

    Vences/Lopez Vargas: Vences was supposed to win and most thought he did enough but the judges gave it to the Mexican. It was a fairly close fight tho.

    Pacquiao/Horn: This doesn't really count since they were fighting in the Hornet's backyard and it was an ugly brawl and fairly close.

    ​​​​​​Moloney/Franco II: In the rematch, Top Rank's Maloney appeared to have a stoppage win when Franco suffered eye date from a punch. The ref ruled it a clash of heads and the replay team inexplicably agreed despite the video clearly showing no headbutt.

    A few aren't great examples, can anyone add to the list?

      You’ve obviously never heard of Lamar Murphy or Keith Mullins. But you more than likely started watching boxing in 2008 so I don’t blame u.

              He got knock out a few times but he has been robbed like 4 or 5 times. Not to say the was the cream of the crop but he was denied millions with those loses.

                    I know what the thread title said. But then u said he was the most robbed boxer in the history of the sport and that’s complete bs. U didn’t say, most robbed A-side(which would still be bull****).
